The caps l13 are provided withx reduced .neck portions 14, at the bottom ends faces 9 of the casing 2.It should be under.

stood that the upper-Vend of the tubings 15 lit over the reduced neck14, as clearly shown in order to facilitate the attachment ofthe caps 13to the tub-ings 15. It should be understood that the neck portions 14are formed so as to constitute a reinforcement for the respective endsof the tubings 15, and that the respective ends of the tubings 15 areadapted to conform to the contour of the lower curved edge 16 of the cap13 (Fig. 11). These caps 13 are provided with apertures 17 within thesides thereof, inorder that a complete circulation of water may passthrough the caps 13, and suitable apertures 13 are formed in therespective ends of the caps 13, for the purpose of permitting thesecuring bolts 19 to pass therethrough, and firmly hold the caps 13 inengagement with and in nested relation with respect to the filler plates20 and sections 21.

A betteln outlet casing 22 is adapted to be supported upon the frame 23of the automobile or other motor vehicle, and this casing 22 is providedwith suitable comm-unicating means 24, similar to that described andillustrated with respect to the casing 2, for the purpose of forming acommunication with the bottom caps 13 of the samel construction as thetop caps 13. It is thought unnecessary to go into detail in the-idescription of the bottom caps 13, in view of the fact that these capsare merely a du plicate ci the structure described in detail inthespecification and illustrated in Figs.

` 1G and 11 of the drawings.

lt should. be understood that a plurality of circulating sections 21 areplaced between the caps 13 in the following way: A circulating sectionis first used, and between an abutting circulating section is placed awasher 25, which washer is of course provided with a suitable aperturefor'registering with the circulating section 21. The respective ends ofthe radiating tube are then fittedv between two of the circulatingsections 21, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing, thereby permittingcomplete circulation throughout aseries of circulating sections and caps13, as well as through the tube sections 11. A filler strip 2O is placedin the upper end of each tube section, which fits between thecirculating Sections 21, and this filler plate is provided with aplurality depending lips 26, which iit into the reupon the filler strips20. The filler strips 2O are provided/with suitable apertures 27 formedtherein, through which the lsecuring bolts 19 pass, for firmlyconnecting the circulating sections and filler strips together. Eachradiating tube 15 comprises a pair of plates, as shown clearly in Fig.6, which plates have their/abutting ends 28 soldered atlng tube sections15, are arranged in zigzag relation throughout their entire length, andas shown in Fig.- 4 a plurality of bracing plates are employedcomprising a primary set of lates 30, and an auxiliary set of bracin pates 31. The primary set of bracing p ates are provided with inwardlyenlarged, substantially V-shapedsockets 32, for receiving the bowportions of the radiat; ing tubes or tube sections and the auxiliaryplates are also provided with V-shaped sockets 33, for the same purpose.Additional sockets 34 are formed transversely upon the auxiliary bracingplates 31, for receiving the substantially V-shaped web portions 35 ofthe primary bracing plates 30. By means of the device illustrated,especially in Fig. 4 and above described, it will be seen that the tubesections 11 will be eiliciently braced and will be held againstvibration.

As shown clearly in Fig. 1, of the drawings, it will be seen thatthebottom casing or casting 22 is provided with outlet apertures 36formed to receive the drain pipes 37 and these drain pipes 37 areprovided with lock'n'uts 38 for firmly holding the casing or casting 22in engagement with the frame' 23. Drain cocks 39 are carried by thesepipes 37. It should be understood that the entire radiator may .beeasily 105 1 drainedwhen so desired, through the medium of these drainpipes 37.

, It should be understood that the top radiator sections are connectedand held together by means of the transversely eXtend- 1.10 ing bolts19, and these sections are gradually reduced in height when the ends ofthe radiator are arranged in step like relation as v shown clearly inFig. 1 of the drawings. The inner wall 40 of the tube section 41 is 115provided with an opening ata point indicated by the numeral 40, and theouter wall of this top indicated by the numeral 41 is provided with anopening for forming a communication between the socket 42 and 120 socket43. In like manner the radiator sections which are stepped downwardly atthe respective ends 'of the radiator, may have a complete communication,as is illustrated in Fig. 13 of the drawings.

In a device of the class described, the combination with sections, tubeshaving their ends fitting between some of said sections, of a flatfiller fitting in each end of each tube, each ller including a closedtop und vertical sides, eafch filler provided near its upper end withhorizontal apertures, said sides also provided at their lower ends withinwardly-extending horizontal feet with a, space between said feetconstituting an opeuing, and means in the horizontal apertures o f theller and extending through Said Sectlons for securing said fillersbetween seidl sections, substantially as scribed.
